Customer Reviews

Comprehensive view in the world of game development

This book is proberly one of the best books that i had ever bought. For a wannabe game developer like me, this book gave me the insight toward what i should expect. It gave in detail what one should know to make themselve a complete game developer. Wheter you are an artist or a programmer, this book will help you guide yourself toward a sucessful carrer in this field.

A must refreance work for those getting started.

I'd have given five stars if the authors had included examples, or better yet templates, for the design treatment and design documents. Given the amount of material given this is a surprisingly easy read. It is very well organized and it is very easy to find information your after without having to wade thorough extraneous information. This book should be on the bookshelf of anyone who is doing game design, computer or otherwise.

Very helpful resource

This book does an excellent job of combining the insites of many experienced industry people. I especially was glad to read the section on getting funding. The book is very readable, well organized, and extremely useful. I wish the CD-ROM had some sample documents though - such as a sample design spec and perhaps letters for funding. Overall, very useful and helpful book.

Everything you wanted to know !

This book is for anyone who wants to enter the marketplace. There is no code, no programming, it's just an excelent source for people who want to know how things work in the game/edutainment/multimedia marketplace.
